Hi all thought this might be different
if you could invite any two peeps ( dead or alive ) for tea at your house who whould they be and why
matt
;D
I'm working on it...
Just can't quite decide.
Who would you have Waggi?
Rather boringly it would have to be my dad, and...............................................
oh no, I am going to have to think long and hard. Lots of peeps spring to mind for different reasons, but there isn't just one that wins the battle.
Jim McColl (from beechgrove) and Wyclef Jean (from the Fugees)- because while they are both very different, they are such charismatic and tolerant people that they would have good banter, and i like em both.
Could i possibly invite delia too so i wouldnt have to cook? :P

Well, I would choose AWT on the cooking front, and how about Bob Flowerdew... I think tea at the shed would be rather nice!
well i think i would invite
david atenbura (spelling wrong i no ) i think he must have some amazing storys to tell
and shackelton as i have been to his grave in south gorgeor and i have loads off questions about all sorts off stuff
Jon Snow and either Adolf Hitler (so many questions I'd want to ask and so many answers I'd like to hear) or Winston Churchill. I can't decide which!
why not i will let you just you as it might be a good one to have all three but what would you serve
No hesitation, Id choose just to have a 1 to 1 with my father.
I have lots of unanswered questions.
Would have to be two of my favourite peeps. My Nanna and my Dad (who died last year) Then we could just sit and have a good long chat, dad telling me all about his working life........gosh he had some funny stories. Nanna telling me what it was like to be the eldest of 14 during the 20's. Just lovely family stuff.
I'm assuming Mr Aqui is already invited to make it four.
I keep getting stuck. I'd love to have one last day with my grandad so he can teach me what he knew about gardening and carpentry and tell me about his work with horses.
And then there's Bob Flowerdew too.
But then I'd also like Bill Hicks, Spalding Gray, Kurt Vonnegut, Philip K Dick, Nietsche (or however you spell it), Spike Milligan, and many more I can't think of.
I'm just going to have to have a lot of teas because I can't decide.
Or just one and only have my grandad.
It would have to be my Gran, she died a few years ago and I never "talked" to her properly. I've only recently found out that she used to make everything herself when she was younger, cheese, ice-cream, yoghurt, baking, soap, knitting, herbal remedies, almost every craft you can imagine. Before she died I wasn't interested in all these things and now that I am she isn't around to share her vast knowledge. She never wrote anything down that I know of so all that information is now lost forever, such a shame.
Billy Connolly...... and his banjo.
Oh what an interesting question.
One of the old plant hunters for sure - maybe 'Chinese' Wilson, these men really were remarkable.
the other would possibly be Paulene Quirke, met her briefly and she was a laugh a minute, lovely lady.
how about we have a massive tea party and then everyone can come
what do you think
I think I'd have Julius Caesar, so I could find out the real reason why he went out unprotected on the Ides of March when he has to have known there was a plot, and Jesus' brother James, so I could find out exactly what was going on in the Jerusalem church while St. Paul was going round writing his letters.
I'd instantly say my Mum and Dad but I won't because I can't bear the thought of letting them go again...... Sooo, Peter Kay because he makes me laugh and I think he would be good for a bit of "serious" conversation as well (all the best comedians have a serious side I think) and Maya Angelou because I love her writing and she does seem to have a sense of humour too.
But oh, there are so very many - that yes Waggi I think hire a few marquees or a very big park then we will issue invites willy nilly and see who turns up :o

Great choices! Can you include me on your guest list too please?
where and where shall we have our party
what shall we call it and well can my dogs come aswell ;D
Hmm, I'll have to give this some thought ???
I would love to invite JOHN KENNEDY my how i would love his company such an interesting man. Lets have a tea party in Hyde Park.
my nana and pop who were extremely influential people when I was growing up. My nan died 10 years ago and my grandad last year so would love to have a good old natter with them.
However I would love to have Jesus and Mohammed too and ask them how they feel about all the atrocities that have been committed in their names.
hyde park is a long way but a special place for a special party
I'd invite Sean Bean for a private tea party.....
My partner, and the physicist Richard Feinman

Difficult decision but it has to be Julius Caesar and The Duke of Wellington. closely followed by Ian Botham and Neil Armstrong
Niel Armstrong just to sea if they realy got to the moon

Can I have Gertrude Gekel (sorry about the spelling) for the serious questions about gardening and Peter Kay to make me laugh. Not sure if the 2 would get on well together, but hey, you never know. ;D

I haven't a clue - don't go for chubby blond chauvinists (Heldi, he'd expect you to cook the tea, wash up afterwards, & probably iron his shirt too).
I'd much rather have 'em slim, dark, & intelligent - give me Sankha Guha any day.
PS Justy, I am not a man!
is that news reader your romeo
;)
(Heldi, he'd expect you to cook the tea, wash up afterwards, & probably iron his shirt too).Â
